Thanks for the prompt responses. There are a few solutions for
different occasions.

Products

There are 4 main types of product suggested.

1) The software for a PC using X-windows for some light admin work
through modem is :-

        NCD's PC X-Remote, the serial connection oriented version of
        their PC X-View X server software for PC's

2) Product will do TCP/IP through modem line (NFS mount) is :-

        NetManage's Chameleon package (provides TCP/IP, SLIP and PPP).
        NetManage directly (408) 973-7171
and

        'PC/TCP' from FTP Software, Wakefield, MA 617-246-0900

3) Some product will only runs on unix (intel chip) :-

        PPP/SLIP software from moringstar technologies. email to:
        Support@MorningStar.Com

4) Public domain
